Anstruther Marina -- Mosquito Free Zone

5/7/2016

0 Comments

 
So our UPS delivery guy came in one day two weeks ago...he is very friendly and always chats for a few minutes as we sign for deliveries.  How are you doing I ask.  It's been getting busy lately he says.  Why is that I ask.  He tells me that the tourists have returned and they are all ordering things like new patio furniture and mosquito machines from costco.  

Whats this?  Mosquito machines...hmmm...we get lots of mosquitos.   I tell him with skepticism that I've heard they didn't work.  Oh they do he tells me.  He knows because he has one.  He gives one warning - they must be set up very early in the season.  

Hmmm.  After he left, costco.ca appeared on my screen and very my own mosquito machine was in my online basket.

A few hours later, with buyers remorse, I call the mosquito machine manufacturer.  The skepticism was back.  Does it really work?  They convince me it was a wise purchase, it works well.  Skepticism now gone, I am once again looking forward to my new bug machine.  ...Maybe I'll need a second if it works really well.  

Later in the week, while I'm in the office, I hear someone come in the door.  The UPS man had a delivery.  I then hear "did you order a mosquito machine????".  A non believer.   Yup,  I sure did.  The UPS man looked at us both and tried to defend my purchase.  Though I didn't actually see the 'rolly eyes'...I'm pretty sure it happened.  Yes, the same skepticism I had.  Mr UPS tried to reassure me that it would work, he did warn that it needs 4 'c' batteries, of course, batteries not included.  "C" being an odd size, took a special trip to home hardware.  As I write this it still hasn't been assembled/set up but now that we have the batteries, we will do soon.

Guess we'll find out soon whether they actually work.  Here's hoping.
